Just wanted to say the investigators here are INCREDIBLE. To find the exact location of the finish line is stunning, I honestly didn't think there was enough info and too many possibilities to narrow it down. Its been a good season and a good season of sleuthing, my compliments to the members here.

I normally root for the racers I think have earned it most over the entire race. That almost never narrows it down to one team, so a combination of competitiveness while racing and civility toward others not in the race and low cut necklines was usually my tiebreaker. So, with the BQs out, I'm rooting for the dudes.

I am really hoping for a good pre finish line challenge like the last 2 seasons, but it is a pretty darn full hour already.

BTW, no way were BJT (TTOW!) alpha males, remember how the real alpha males made fun of them for being sissies. They are my all time favs, but not alpha males.

GARRISON - In addition to identifying the winning duo in "The Amazing Race," fans of the reality show might be surprised to recognize a Putnam County children's center in tonight's finale.

St. Basil Academy on Route 9D is the site of the finish line for Amazing Race 10, which airs at 8 p.m. on CBS, according to a network spokeswoman.

The 12 teams traveled more than 40,000 miles in 30 days, starting from Seattle. They went to four continents and 13 countries, hitting such exotic locations as Kuwait, Beijing and Madagascar.

Who, but the producers, knew they would deem Garrison, the Philipstown hamlet that is home to Gov. George Pataki, as a fitting end point?

The show follows competing teams as they travel the world based on sets of clues. The last team to reach each succeeding destination is eliminated, and the winning team to the last destination gets $1 million.

The Paolo family of Carmel participated in the series' ninth race. They were the sixth group to be eliminated, but did have a chance to bungee jump over the Panama Canal and lift 14,000 pounds of bananas in Costa Rica.

St. Basil Academy has been known in the community as a place to go to enjoy a cool swim in the center's large pool. It was also the subject of a protracted legal battle with the Garrison school district.

The 62-year-old academy last month got a state license to run a residential facility and have its 30 children attend Garrison schools. The children there used to be educated on site. The closing of the school prompted the fight with Garrison, which feared escalating costs from absorbing the new students.

"The Amazing Race" is planning its 11th contest in the spring as an all-star edition, producers said

Fight to the finishTonight’s shenanigans include a trip to Alaska with the racers forced to drive a team of sled-dogs. Then the participants have to dive into some frigid Alaskan waters to collect a clue, which sends them back to New York City. The finish line is in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. We seem to recall an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer imagines Flushing Meadows as a land filled with toilets. We doubt it’s actually like that. But still, after trips to places like Spain, Morocco and China, shouldn’t this extravaganza be winding up in a more exotic locale than Flushing Meadows? Was Hoboken booked?

HaHa Slowhatch! We rule! Hey the only thing that was wrong was that the Bamas were not on the same flight with jlaw,,but he did see them at CDG. Also Shirlyf's Alamo spoiler sighting of the BQ's & Chos had something to it with the Alamo cube being a place for the cluebox. I can't beleive R/K & T/J weren't spotted running around NY ?

Well here we are at the end of another season, and I want to say how much I appreciate all the hard work you folks do digging through the net (and other sources) you amaze me. Now take a day off and get to work on All Stars.
